According to Solon police, the four teens were riding a single ATV in a wooded area behind houses that border the South Chagrin Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. Police received a 9-1-1 call about 3:35 p.m. and arrived to find Murphy unconscious.
According to students at the dance, Murphy was driving the ATV when it crashed into a tree. Two of the students leapt from the four-wheeled vehicle before the crash and suffered minor injuries.
